There are many different species of fir originating from various parts of the world. At MONQ, we most frequently use Balsam, Douglas, and Siberian firs and our Recycled Christmas Tree—a co-distill of Frasier and Noble firs! The bulk of our firs come from the United States and Canada, but some are sourced from Europe.
Firs are rich in alpha- and beta-pinene and are wonderful for purifying the air and boosting the respiratory system.
